Chapter 3: cruise here we come!

The sun beamed through the window, and the gentle breeze blew the lush grass. Kai woke up early, he was currently at the table thinking about how he would keep himself a secret but suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

"Morning!" Rei said smiling as he entered the kitchen. Rei was wearing his usual clothes a Chinese style suit which was white, yellow, blue and red only difference was his hair was damp and wet because he had just washed it which made it look shinier then it usually was.

"Yeah, whatever" Kai replied looking up from the table. He left the room to put his luggage by the door. Rei already put his at the door and he was currently having a reading at the table. Kai returned to the kitchen sitting down across from Rei. Rei had put his wrap on his damp hair and was continuing to read the newspaper. About ten minutes later Max, Takao, Kenny and Mr. Dickenson went to the doorway. Kai and Rei approached them. Takao was eating a sandwich, which he finished in no time at all, and then he put his neon coloured cap on his messy navy-blue hair and was ready to go.

"I can't wait to go this is gonna be great!" The redhead known as Kenny grinned holding his laptop Dizzy tightly in his arms.

"Yeah, this is so cool" Max agreed, his azure eyes flashing with eagerness. "We're going to do so many things like the last time we were on a cruise,"

"Well, we better get going," Mr. Dickenson announced turning the metal doorknob; they followed Mr. Dickenson as he led the teens down long and prosperous hallway.

As Kai walked down the beautifully beige tiled hall from the corner of his eye he could see the others filing behind him. He stopped at a newly materialized elevator door.

"Um..Mr. Dickenson I hope you don't mind me asking but where exactly are we going?" Rei inquired curiously.

"Since this is a beybladers only cruise your all going to some of the places where they had the world tournaments." Mr. Dickenson answered, pushing a button on the elevator. "They will stop in that place for to days and you could get of the ship to look around but you have to make sure you come back to the ship again before it departs again."

"I never heard of a ship like that before," Rei admitted.

"Yeah me too," Takao agreed. The door slid open and everyone entered it. Mr. Dickenson once again pressed another button. Everything was going fine; besides the fact that Takao kept asking can't this thing go any faster. Suddenly the lights went dim and soon went out and the elevator came to a complete stop, causing everyone (Except Mr. Dickenson, and Kai) to topple on top of each other.

" Takao get off of my leg." Rei groaned.

"Ow, someone's hurting my arm!" Kenny moaned as he tried to get up, soon the lights came back on. Eventually everyone got up with a bit of difficulty. Max rubbed his aching head he was the last to get up. "Wha-what just happened?" He asked.

"It must have been a malfunction in this elevator, but what ever it was it's gone now." Kenny explained observing the walls of the small elevator. Soon there was a small ring followed by the door sliding opened when they were at ground level. And they all walked out.

They walked passed many teen and child beybladers ranging from the ages of ten to seventeen who were chatting loudly to each other some people were practicing having battles. Some were amateur others were skilled, and it looked as if some of the people here were going on the same cruise as the bladebreakers because most of them were speaking of a beautiful cruise ship by the name of the Aqua queen. Rei, Kai, Takao, Max, Kenny and Mr. Dickenson waited at the front doors of the building and waited at the door for the taxi to arrive. Many taxis came but all the seats were already taken. Finally an empty taxi car was spotted.

"Our ride is here," Mr. Dickenson pointed to a bright yellow taxi. They left the building through beautiful glass doors. Everyone followed Mr. Dickenson to the highly polished vehicle in the parking lot.

"How many times did that guy polish that car, my eyes are burning." Max stated covering his eyes with his hand. "Does it have video games?" Takao asked. He looked around the brown leather back seats "I guess not." Takao grumbled answering his own question. He reluctantly sat down and scowled folding his arms. He cursed under his breath. Kenny and Max sat beside him. Mr. Dickenson got a seat in the front; Rei and Kai took the seat behind Max, Takao and Kenny. The taxi driver took all of the luggage to the trunk of the vehicle. Finally when he finished putting away the luggage he drove off.

Takao and Max were watching Max's mini TV, from the seat behind them Rei could see that they were watching a dumb cartoon about a yellow square thing named Spongebob with a pink star named Patrick. A blue squid named Squidward was shouting at them and saying how much he hated them. Takao and Max found it funny but Rei just thought it was plain dumb. Soon Takao fell a sleep and the laughter was reduced to small chuckles that belonged to Max. Rei looked over at Kai his were eyes shut and his arms were folded across his chest. "What?" Kai asked bluntly when he noticed Rei was looking at him. Rei blinked and gazed down at the ground "It's nothing," the raven- haired boy sighed, he looked out the window he glanced up into the sky and then looked back n the ground.

They soon arrived to the departing station of the cruise ship. Kenny had his face pressed against the window. Soon the car stopped. "Takao! Please Takao wake up, we have to go!" Kenny shook Takao awake. "Just five more minutes I don't want to go to school today," Takao answered partly asleep.

"Takao come on wake up," Kenny shook Takao harder, and finally Takao slowly opened his eyes. Everyone exited the car and got their luggage. They got their bags checked and continued to walk towards the ship. Luckily none of the people noticed the blood in Kai's bag.

"Awe man! My soda spilt!" Takao held up his dripping suitcase. Everyone's sweat dropped. Some of the pop from his suitcase splashed his blue shorts, he groaned and tried to rub it out with a piece of cloth unfortunately for him it just made the stain even worse. Max snickered and Takao glared angrily at him. They continued to walk towards the boat.

"So what are you guys going to do?" Kenny asked.

"Eh." Rei answered carelessly.

"Mah." Max replied.

"I don't know." Takao responded.

"What are you guys looking forward to?" Kenny questioned them.

"Eh..." Rei answered.

"Mah." Max replied walking.

"I don't know." Takao responded.

" Do ya think we're going to meet any old friends?" Kenny asked hoping they'd come up with better answers.

"Eh." Rei answered once more.

" I said Mah." Max repeated.

"Um. um.hmmm.well.uh. maybe.I don't know." Takao said finally shrugging.

Kenny frowned and sighed for he knew that with any question he asked they would have the same answers.

Many people rushed onto the ship. Mr. Dickenson showed the tickets to the man at the front of the ship he had chestnut brown hair he also had a tattoo on his left shoulder that was the shape of an anchor and a small mustache on his face, many people were boarding the boat it was very popular among tourists. The boat they were going on was a beautiful sight it was all white with the words "Aqua Queen" written on the side of it in fancy blue letters. It was huge. Takao gawked at the ship his mouth gaped opened. He was doing a great impression of a fish. Of course who wouldn't stare it was big, beautiful and the best part was it was first class all the way.

"You all have a good time now." Mr. Dickenson waved before leaving. Takao and Max ran passed everyone else and went onto the ship. As they walked on to the boat Kenny looked at a brochure.

"Hey you guys this place has a swimming pool, a spa that includes mud baths and massages, a buffet, hotel rooms, performances from singers and magicians, an arcade, a gift shop and way more!" Kenny exclaimed.

As soon as they entered the ship an attractive looking girl about their age beamed welcome to them as she removed a strand of long, sleek strawberry-blond hair from her forehead. She wore a black skirt and a stylish white top that had seen even one single wrinkle in them. She also wore big round earrings. "Hi! My name is Amber; you can call me if you need any assistance. Oh, I almost forgot you'll be needing these," she said holding up two black and silver watches.

"What for?" Rei piped in.

"When we stop the ship at the grounds where the tournaments were held people like to take tours around the area so the watches will automatically set itself to ring two days later so you won't get left behind when the cruise ship departs again. I'll show you to your room now." She gestured them to follow her. They walked around the deck of the boat she led them into a narrow hallway with white painted walls many doors lined both sides of the walls.

"Enjoy kiddos! Oh and remember if there's anything I could like help you with just call" She smiled as she opened the door to their hotel room. 'Kiddos! We're the same age!' Rei thought to himself. She handed Kenny the keys to the hotel room. It had a beautiful springy white carpet, two bedrooms each with there own washroom inside. There was a recreation room including a beyblade battle arena, video games, and exercise material, a full-sized living room with matching lamps, a Twenty inch wide flat screen TV, two black expensive leather couches, a DVD player with a surround sound system and a small kitchen as well, it had a stove a microwave and cupboards. They entered the beautiful room. While everyone looked around Kai carried his bag in to his room. He returned into the living room and folding his arms and closing his eyes. The girl noticed that Kai was in the corner and not with the rest of the group.

"Why aren't you with your little friends? Its not like your keeping a secret from them," The Amber said when she approached Kai. The way she said "secret" made Kai's stomach turn over he just looked at her with cold crimson eyes his face still expressionless, and then turned away. The strawberry-blond haired girl just shrugged and left. Kai watched as she left the room but soon he began to feel pain in his stomach he began to yearn for something..blood. Kai doubled over in pain shutting his eyes tight he instantly became weaker. The others noticed this and were concerned. Takao ran to him. "Kai are..are you okay?" Takao requested warily. Kai's head shot up, he couldn't let Takao and the others know about him being a vampire Rei knowing was enough. Kai nodded slowly "I'm fine."

"But.you don't look fine," Max mentioned referring to his arched pose.

"Really I said I'm fine," Kai repeated. He got up from his position even though it made the pain grow even more. " I'm just tired." Kai left the room to take a package of blood. 'That was close.' Kai thought to himelf. He opened his bag to reveal eight packages of blood, and a bunch of clothes. He took a package held it up to his mouth and plunged his fangs deep into the package he could feel the gush of blood flow into his mouth. Slowly he began to feel replenished of his energy again. He began to suck out the luscious red liquid, he was about to wipe off his mouth but suddenly Takao and Max came barging into his room and approached him into his room. Kai immediately put the package behind his back. "Hey Kai the lady said to give this to you." Max said holding out one of the watches the lady had showed them earlier, but that's when Takao notice Kai had a bit of blood on his lower lip.

"Uh.Kai why is there blood on you're mouth?" Takao asked.

'Oh shit, what am I gonna do, think.' Kai thought to himself. Suddenly Rei appeared at the front door, realizing what kind of trouble Kai was in Rei thought quickly. "Kai must've.bitten his lower lip too hard, that's all happens to me all the time," Rei concluded.

"Oh, okay." Takao and Max left the room Max left the watch on the night table. Kai watched them leave as he wiped the small bit of blood, which had trickled onto his lip with the back of this hand. "Um.thanks for saving me back there Rei," he as he disposed of the empty package of blood.

"No prob," Rei said with a thumbs up sign. "So.Uh, since Kenny, Max and Takao are sharing a room I guess you and me have to." Rei pulled his bag onto his new bed and soon left the room. Kai put the watch into his pocket and decided it was time for him to return to the group also.

"I'm hungry can we go to the buffet Pleeeaaase? I'm starved!" Takao asked setting his soaking bag down on the wooden floor.

"Takao you just ate," Rei stated bluntly, sometimes it got to Rei's nerves when Takao always talks about how hungry he is. "Besides it's not even twelve o'clock yet."

"Well just so you know there are ten major meals of the day, breakfast, brunch, snack, lunch, dunch, snack, dinner, dessert, second dessert and midnight snack." Takao said counting each finger as he named the meals.

"You know snack isn't a meal" Kenny pointed out.

"Well it is to me." Takao crossed his arms as he turned away.

"And what's dunch?" Max asked at once.

"It's not quite lunch but its not quite dinner," Takao answered simply. Max looked bewildered for a minute. There was a short silence in the room.

"Anyways I'm going to the arcade!" Max declared, Takao and Kenny shrugged and followed.

"So Kai what do you want to do?" Rei asked looking out the window.

"..."

"Kai?" Rei turned to the slate-haired boy who was sitting by the edge of the window, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"I don't care," The crimson-eyed boy finally answered.

"Well I heard that looking out into the water from the deck is relaxing," Rei suggested. Kai shrugged carelessly and followed Rei out of the room.
